The High Peaks region of the Adirondacks in New York is already past peak foliage–it came early this year! The colors were great, and still are in lower elevation parts of the North Country. If you love fall but missed the best colors, come take a look. Many of the photos have captions, with a little info about the site.

Thanks! The foliage has been especially fine this year!
Absolutely gorgeous photos … thank you, Kerry!
And thank you! Connecticut must be looking pretty fine these days, too!
Wonderful Shots! What a lovely place!
We are planning to visit NY in early November, I have never seen fall in full bloom, I hope they stay till we come as that is the main thing we are coming for!
Oh, gosh, Cassy–I don’t like to be the bearer of bad news but the foliage will probably be off the trees in many parts of New York by then. Although I was in NYC for Thanksgiving a few years ago and they still had some colorful leaves. I guess it depends where you’ll be in the state. Even f you don’t get beautiful colors, NY is a wonderful state!
Oh! let’s hope for the best…hope the shutdown will be over by then..else it will be really sad. Crossing fingers!
I think you’ll find some good spots of color, especially in the lower elevations and downstate! Let me know and have fun!
Hi Kerry!
Finally got to see some color! Yay!
I shared it today on my blog: http://theartbug.blogspot.com/2013/11/globetrotting-diaries-new-york-city.html
Do stop by if u find time!
I just commented on your blog–what an awesome trip you had!! So pleased for you and thanks for the update!
Stunning photos! Makes me miss autumn terribly… 😦
Glad you could experience it a little, vicariously. Is there a fall-like season where you are? I know nothing about Singapore . . .
It’s a tropical country near the equator and it’s pretty much the same all year round; hot, humid with a mixture of hot sun and torrential rain! Those that have lived here all their lives might see slight changes of season but I’ve not noticed them in my four and a half year stay!
That would be very difficult to adjust to, I would think!
It’s not been too hard really, I love hot weather, but as I am originally from England, I do miss being able to wear a nice cardigan or pair of boots!
So pretty! I love fall colors and the changing leaves. We are still waiting for the peak to hit in the DC area. Not sure what it will look like this year as it got chilly early, then went back to 90 degrees, and now is chilly again. I know our plants outside were really confused and started blooming again during the warm spike, so I’m sure the trees are confused too! 🙂
We’ve had odd weather, too (not as odd as yours!), but the trees did not disappoint. It was so beautiful but it passes so quickly . . .
Wonderful photos. I think we will have our peak this weekend, for those leaves left on the tress 🙂
I mean trees.
Good! I look forward to your photos–you always have a different way of seeing things!
OMG, the scenery is stunning! I’d love to sit in one of those lounge chairs and enjoy the view 🙂
Thanks, Duni! Those lounge chairs are the most fabulous Lake Placid Lodge–I’d like to live there! http://www.lakeplacidlodge.com/
Nature provided an amazing backdrop, but it takes an equally amazing eye and skill to capture what you have in these photos. Phenomenal pictures, Kerry!
This comment came without a name attached! Pat, is that you? Whoever you are, thank you!
Indeed, ‘it’s me! Was up and down the Northway twice today! Absolutely relished seeing what is probably the end of “peak” season for leaves. Butternut pons was incredible, complete with a layer of mystical morning fog. Sure wish I had been a passenger who could have taken photos en route!
Ohoh, how beautiful the world is at your place. I have been there a couple of times and it still is so stunning! Here in South Ohio,leaves are just starting to turn and finally there is a delightful crisp coolness in the air. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous photos! ♥ Johanna
I’ve never spent time in Ohio but went to grad school next door in central Pennsylvania so I know you will get your turn at pretty foliage! I’m so pleased you like my photos–nature did the hard part!
What beautiful photos! I love the reflection shots and I love the line of trees where you can really see all the different colors together. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by to look, Edi. As pretty as the pictures are, I still don’t feel like the really capture the glory of those scenes!
there’s nothing like the colors changing from summer to fall. i think it’s nature’s way of easing us into winter..you notice the colors aren’t nearly as vivid going from winter to spring.
What an interesting perspective–she gives us one last hurrah, before we get to gray and white! Neat–thanks for stopping by!
Absolutely stunning!
Thanks, Katy! It was all even prettier in person!
Absolutely stunning!
P.S. How funny. I hadn’t read any comments previous to mine and Katy H. and I came up with the very same response. It’s so true!
Thanks, Jackie–it was even prettier in person!
Wow, beautiful photos, the colours are amazing!
Yes, they really were this year. Some years don’t quite make the grade but this year was fab!
Stunning. Sums up all I love about the fall. Ours appears to be a bit late this year…so far….
I hope you get great colors, when they come. This was an exceptional year here!
🙂
Your photos are stunning. The Autumn colours are beautiful.
They really were especially fine this year! Thanks!
Thanks for the gorgeous fall tour. Takes me back to my few short years in White Plains, New York.
My sister lives in Westchester County, and used to live in White Plains, too. It’s a beautiful place and I love that it’s so close to NYC. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
Yes, it was a perfect place for an easy commute to NYC, and the city had so many beautiful trees. I think they lost a few in the recent hurricane, though.
Lovely photos, thanks for taking me along!
Glad you could make it! Thanks for visiting my blog!
